Who May Vote By Mail Any registered voter, for any reason, may request a mail ballot. The request must be in writing. First-time voters who did not provide I.D. when they registered must provide I.D. when they vote: If you did not provide identification when you registered and have not yet voted in a Clark County election:

You must provide a copy of your I.D. when you request a mail ballot for the first time.

If you do not include a copy of your I.D. with your mail ballot request, you may still submit it along with your voted mail ballot, inside the official return envelope.

If you never provide I.D., your ballot will not be counted.

What is Mail Ballot Voting? Mail ballots accommodate voters who cannot or do not wish to vote in person during early voting or on Election Day. After the request is processed, the voter will be sent mail ballot voting materials, which include an optical scan ballot, a sample ballot designed for mail ballot voting and instructions.

If you do not receive your requested mail ballot at least seven days before the election, please contact the Clark County Election Department at (702) 455-VOTE.

If You Do Not Have Your Mail Ballot You will sign an affirmation at the voting site swearing that you have not already voted in the current election. An election official will verify your affirmation against Election Department records.

DEADLINE: The Las Vegas City Clerk or the Clark County Election Department must receive your voted mail ballot (whether mailed or returned in person) on or before 7 p.m. ON ELECTION DAY in order for it to be counted.

Who May Return ItOnly the voter who requested the mail ballot or a family member may return it. If a family member returns it, that family member must sign a statement confirming he or she is a member of the voter’s family.

Persons with Disabilities Registration Accommodations: If You Cannot Sign Your Name on Your Voter Registration Application: You must register and be identified in person at the Election Department. If you are unable to appear in person, you may request the Election Department send an election official to you.
